The Blackbramble

How fitting that we were learning about Fruit growing in the Master Gardeners Class today.
I had to come home and raise a glass to the class.
Of course I had to use one of the Brambles - I chose Black Raspberry
Did you know that Raspberries come in Red, Yellow, Black and Purple(latin - Rubus neglectus, which I guess that means the purple are neglected. I have never seen them have you?)?
Well not to bore you with my studies, onto the Drink:

Blackbramble
2 shots citron vodka
1 shot plain vodka
1 shot simple syrup
2 shots Black Raspberry Juice (from Trader Joes)

Mix together and pour over ice in two rock glasses evenly(come on there is enough for 2 here don't be greedy) Should still be room for the soda and lime...
Pour club soda into each glass (if you can't guess use 2 shots)
Squeeze a slice of lime into each glass and drop in.
Give it a stir and taste, adjust the club soda if need be!

I thought this was a perfect drink to end the day with dreamings of planting berries in my garden in the spring.

Enjoy!

PS. I forgot to mention,  I paired the drink with chocolate chips and that fabulous crystallized ginger - which I did eat straight out of the bag.
